 Myanmar's Hontal leader, senior general Min Ong Hyang, addressed delegates of the International Security Conference in Moscow on Wednesday, June 23. He said that it is important for the international community to keep shared values and unite for peace and stability. Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shogu told Min Ong Hyang that Moscow is committed to strengthening military ties with Myanmar. World ties between the two countries have grown in recent years, with Moscow providing army training and university scholarships to thousands of soldiers, as well as selling arms to a military blacklisted by several Western countries.
